Timeline - World History Documentaries 
A devastating volcanic eruption in A.D. 535 leads to the emergence of new nations and religions.
Written records from China, Italy, Palestine and many other countries suggest a huge catastrophe blighted the world in 536AD. But the cause of it has been uncertain.
Was it a comet? An asteroid? A volcano? Archaeologist David Keys reveals the latter is to blame for the Dark Ages of famine and plague that shaped the world order of today.

When indonesian volcano blowing up again, like this, do u think we could survive? Or even bigger than this, what will happens to us. When toba volcanos erupted in indonesia hundreds thousands years ago and makes human almost extinct, just 10.000 people left. I cant imagine if that catastrophe happens again. We need technology to travel to another planet as fast as light speed.
Hurricane there and that was the eye that just passed.
The volcano does everything you said in the model up to now,after.
Let the model still play.
The smoke gets away into the atmosphere,then with the eye of the hurricane that it created it passes thru the eye.
No at the end of every natural disaster there’s buraty a different and more beautiful landscape to look at will evolve.
Beauty the lite.
Where’s there’s life it’s equipped to expose of waster in the body.
I’m asking for help the animal might say.
Exposure again.
It happened in the picture.
Inhale.
There.
We’re all moving.
…jamaica say…a dat she gets…
Krakatoa the Most Dangerous Volcano On Earth !
Humanity will experience worse than this shortly. It will be Campi Flegrei
Not the worst by far. Try ten years of winter.
I just watched a documentary on the plague in 1665 in the UK, and modern day scientists showed how fleas were less active (to include inactive) in cooler temperatures and much more active in warmer temperatures. This is contradictory to what is said in the documentary.
wow, very well presented and informative. for history hunters, this should be in your list to watch
So did Tambora eruption in 1815 AD that changed climate, so that Napoleon lost in war.
my great grandma was alive witness of krakatoa 1883. she lived for 120 years. she was the noble person's daughter of Nusantara (Indonesia now) Banten Officer and Lived in Anyer. she was safe because when Dutch government warned the might biggest explosion, her family took initiative to evacuate to Serang (another city in Banten Province, used to be: Banten region). she passed the story down to us.. it was very true that world had been so very dark for several months and continued a bit lighter in next year. People who heard the explosion might deaf. after that severe explosion, Dutch were busy to clean all severe disaster. Indeed horrible and never been forgotten 😢
Depota
WOW lady covering her face at the 45:39 mark, why people why? 🦘👍👌✌😎
Every time I stub my toe I think of this volcano
2:07 2000 million Hiroshima bombs.
Apparently Mt St Helen’s was 500 Hiroshimas…. Hooley Dooley.
Back when men were men
3:45 it’s always that second crack that causes all the problems
30 years without water, how did anyone survive?
Scientists are doing the equivalent of a massive volcanic eruption right now with geoengineering to control climate change. It is causing more harm than good.
That what happens when God became angry….
Excellent information and analysis…
My step-sister lives on the shore of Lake Taupo in New Zealand. Lake Taupo is the 6th largest caldera on the planet. It is overdue for an eruption.
No One Mentions Mt Tambora !
Like a good hunting story the deer gets bigger with more antlers as the story goes. So 2000 million Hiroshima will be 30,000 million now a days.
If you want to humble yourself and realize just how feeble we really are in the face of human history, think about our ancestors and how they struggled just so you can get door dash.
536 eruption was not Krakatoa. It couldn't have been Krakatoa because in the 1800s when Krakatoa blew it blew itself apart and still didn't cause an extinction event.
Minute 9:01 first time plague is registered in History. ( In Athens, pericles time, was registred a plague, so not the first time)
Imagine 400 million Canadians and Americans having to flee North America. Might be difficult for the world to handle it. Not that we are armed to the teeth or anything.😮
